27.5 Setting Up Devices to Use Preboot Bundles

In order for a device to automatically use a Preboot bundle, you must first assign a Preboot bundle to the device, its parent folder, or its group; and then you must set up the device to apply the bundle.

Preboot Services utilizes PXE and other boot mechanisms and media to trigger the preboot work.
